Never see the older ones coming to watch the younger ones open their presents, find it totally rude to be honest, I’d make my kids come and watch and join in, bloody sitting in their rooms gaming!
Not to make excuses for them, but one of the issues probably is that they film every one of the younger kids birthday hauls for money earning vlogs, and the older boys/ young men don't want to be in vlogs? (Which is understandable, and should be their personal choice)
Yeah, this and the fact a birthday is pretty much a daily event in the Radford household. Most of us can't imagine a family member tucked away in their room away from the birthday boy/girl opening their presents, regardless of the age gap, because in most households birthdays only come around up to 5 or 6 times a year and are therefore special occasions. Some months in the Radford household there are 4 birthdays, practically one a week. Can you imagine being made to watch a kid sibling you have very little to do with, open shitloads of presents pretty much on a weekly basis? Seeing them being spoilt far more than you ever were, as your parents now seemingly throw money down the drain as opposed to all the scrimping and saving they did when you were that small.
I do find it weird that the ones in their early 20's still live at home? I know that Sue and Noel will discourage any of them moving out because the money making machine of Britain's biggest family is decreased, but isn't it normal for adults their ages not wanting to live at home with mum and dad and a huge amount of noisy, badly behaved siblings? Do they not crave independence?
If I was an older sibling with almost 2 dozen siblings, I honestly wouldn't want to be bothered. The girls are stuck being caretakers, they need a rest away from the children and the older boys don't want to be involved. I'm sure that the various age groups celebrate each other like we saw in Chloe's birthday.
I think it is skydiving.I wonder what Ellie’s birthday surprise was
Didn't want to watch their latest vlog, but I'll have to watch it now lol. It would actually make sense of the baby wearing of Heidie at an inappropriate age - it would help to hide a baby bump.
She looks like she could be pregnant in the loose denim shirt, but not so much in the sweater at the end?
Yep, then you wouldn’t film would you. Just shows what the priorities are in that house.
Precisely, in a family as large and spread out as theirs it’s impossible to be close to every sibling.
I’m sure they’d all love to live independently and have their own place or shared with friends but the fact is that renting can be such a money pit and buying a house is out of the question. I know most early 20’s are either at University or living at home saving still.
Even if they’re all on minimum wage jobs they could afford a house to share between them. Rents are a lot cheaper in that part of the country (around 600 pcm for a 3 bed). I think it’s more a case of they’d rather just let their parents keep them cos it’s easier than having to take responsibility for yourself.
They want to roll in from work to food in the kitchen and spend their money on clothes. The lads all seem a bit gormless to me.
